The inner ear contains 2 main structures. They are the cochlea and vestibular system. the cochlea is involved in hearing, and the vestibular system (consisting of the 3 semicircular canals, saccule, and utricle) is responsible for maintaining balance.
Hence the organ in the body is responsible for hearing is the ear.
